Hey weather warriors! Dustin Breeze here, ready to tackle today's atmospheric playbook for Portland!
Alright, let's kick this forecast into high gear! We've got some serious moisture heading our way that's gonna make this weather look like it's running a full-court press. Overnight, we're looking at showers cruising through before 5 in the morning, with temperatures dropping to a cool 47 degrees. Those south winds are gonna be blowing at 11 to 13 miles per hour, with gusts up to 21 miles per hour. Talk about a weather blitz!
Tuesday's gonna be a wet one, folks! Showers and possibly thunderstorms are gonna dominate the field before 3 in the afternoon, with a chance of more action after that. We're looking at a high of 57 degrees, and those winds are gonna be breezy - south winds hitting 11 to 20 miles per hour, with gusts up to 33 miles per hour. I like to call this Mother Nature's version of a touchdown dance!
Let's dive into our Weather Playbook segment! Today, we're breaking down the concept of wind shear. Think of wind shear like a defensive line in football - it's where wind speed or direction changes dramatically with height. Just like a quarterback reading the defense, meteorologists read wind shear to predict severe weather. How cool is that?!
Here's our three-day forecast play-by-play:
• Wednesday: Partly sunny, high of 65 degrees
• Thursday: Slight chance of rain, high of 71 degrees
• Friday: Scattered showers, high of 60 degrees
Snow levels are gonna be playing some interesting moves too - dropping down to 2,200 feet by Friday night. That's meteorological magic right there!
It's gonna be WIIIIILD out there, folks!
